vvvv v4.0 Beta 22

vvvv group has released beta 22 of vvvv v4.0.

It includes many small bug fixes plus a new feature: multiboygrouping. i.e. each client can now listen to any number of servers at once, the company says.

General:

The Renderer (EX9) settings enumerations now show up in the Info (Enumeration) output when there is at least one Renderer (EX9) open.

Boygrouping:

o Clients now can be controlled from more than one server. o Broadcast IPs and network ports can be specified. o Bug with doubled patches on clients fixed. o Massive performance gain with transmitting large spreads of values.

Bug fix: changes over node pins (like with Switch (Node Input) ) now always result in reevaluation of the downwards connected node.

FileTexture (EX9.Texture) has new mipmap behaviour: In the new mode Automatic it behaves like From File for .dds textures, but creates all mipmaps for all other file formats. Automatic is the new default.

FileTexture (EX9.Texture) and XFile (EX9.Geometry Load) now have a new pin Use Preloaded Item. Using this option only preloaded files will be used while all settings are ignored. That way you can have one place where you specify how to load the resources and reference them at other places in your system.

Map (Value Interval): better performance.

Info (EX9.Texture) now also can report about properties of the original image file, useful for when you change its size on loading to save memory. it also outputs the original file format.
